*I have a prized vintage (70s) Gibson Les Paul, but suck.
Hey, if you enjoy playing, and have fun, that's all that matters. You could be really good, and feel nothing for the music, so then what's the point?
Either way, a vintage Gibson is very cool, and worth a hefty load, methinks.
My guitarist worked towards a new Gibson SG last summer, and it looks, sounds, and plays great. Sometimes I like to pretend I can work my way around six strings and chords, and attempt to play it.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
